Chapter 524 Lushui Louxu and Snake(1/2)
In order to entertain the Duke of Guangling, Lu Zhizhou and several local officials arrived at Lushui Tower early, ready to wait for the arrival of the Duke.
In the Danfeng Pavilion on the second floor, several adults were talking, and the boy hurriedly came to report.
"Master, a group of adults with the commander of the Imperial City are here, saying they want to search Lushui Tower..."
Several people looked at each other, and their expressions were not very good.
Speaking of the Imperial City Division, they would naturally think of Fu Jiuqu.
Even though Fu Jiuqu left the capital, he still had close contacts with the Imperial City Division.
I don’t have to be so embarrassed if I don’t show my face to the banquet, right?
Lu Yongfu stood up, stroking his beard: "I'll go take a look..."
There were boos and noises in Lushui Tower.
A group of imperial soldiers came in wearing armor, saying they wanted to search for the rebels. The shopkeeper was so frightened that he clamped his tail, and the diners were running around dejectedly...
Within a short time, the building was in chaos.
Lu Yongfu frowned and strode over.
"May I ask, sir, what is the matter?"
The visitor was none other than Liang Yi, who followed Fu Jiuqu south to Yangzhou.
Unlike Cheng Cang and Duan Sui, who often walked around Fu Jiuqu, he was mainly responsible for secret guards. Lu Yongfu looked at him as a very handsome person, but he recognized the governor at a glance.
"Lord Lu." Liang Yi showed his token and said sternly: "The Imperial City Division has received a secret report that someone is planning to burn down the Lushui Tower to disrupt the government and cause turmoil in the country. We are here to check it out."
The Imperial City Division was responsible for intelligence espionage, so Lu Yongfu didn't doubt Liang Yi's words at all, and his face turned pale with fright.
"In broad daylight, someone is so bold as to create an explosion under my jurisdiction?"
Liang Yi handed over his hand and said, "I would like to trouble Mr. Lu to make it easier for the Imperial City Department to investigate to the end."
"It's time to check! It's time to check carefully."
As the parent official of Sizhou City, Lu Yongfu not only couldn't keep it off his face, but more importantly, whenever he thought about the bloody disaster mentioned by the fortune teller, his back went cold and he didn't want to stay any longer.
"Master Liang, if you please, I will take the first step."
In Danfeng Pavilion, several adults were sitting uneasily. When they saw Lu Yongfu coming in, their expressions changed, and they immediately asked each other solemnly.
"Master Lu, what happened?"
Lu Yongfu said: "It was almost a bad thing, it was almost a big thing. I don't know which thing that suffered a thousand cuts was going to be burned down in Lushui Tower. Fortunately, the Imperial City Division got the tip and came one step ahead. Otherwise, you and I would have been afraid of our lives."
No guarantee. Let’s go, let’s go, gentlemen..."
Several adults looked at him.
Seeing that none of them were moving, Lu Yongfu became even more anxious.
"Everyone, hurry up and don't delay any more."
Then he said to himself, "No wonder the fortune teller said that I have been plagued by bad luck, and there have been bloody disasters recently... Alas, he only said not to go to temporary residences such as inns, inns, and post houses, and not to go near temples or cemeteries, but he didn't say anything about restaurants.
! No, you can also stay in a restaurant. Alas, why did I forget this..."
As he spoke, he raised his hands to those people.
"It seems that I have caused trouble to you all, please forgive me!"
Ever since the affair between his concubine and the housekeeper happened, Lu Zhizhou had been a little nagging. Just after drinking tea, he had just praised the fortune teller to the sky.
The adults hesitated for a moment.
"Master Lu, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for us to leave at this time."
"What's wrong?"
"Tonight you and I invited the Prince of Guangling County to a banquet. We left before the distinguished guests arrived. Isn't this offending someone?"
Lu Yongfu sighed, "I can't worry about so much right now. Let's go and block the prince outside the door, and then tell the truth to him. He will definitely forgive..."
Xie Tiha frowned and looked at him, "Is Mr. Lu making a fuss out of a molehill? Now that the Imperial City Department has come to check, you and I will wait and see what happens..."
"Ouch." Lu Yongfu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, "If you want to wait, then you can wait. I will take my leave first."
His face was pale and he looked distracted. He gave a hasty salute and turned around...
As soon as the door opened, I looked up and saw Fu Jiuqu smiling gently.
"Where are you going, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yongfu's expression changed, he looked at Fu Jiuqu awkwardly, repeated what happened just now, and then frowned and asked in surprise:
"Master Liang came to inspect Lushui Tower. Didn't the prince know about it?"
Fu Jiuqu smiled slightly and said, "I have demoted Yangzhou and have not taken over as the procurator of the imperial city for a long time. Naturally, Mr. Liang will not report to me."
Lu Yongfu nodded dubiously, then bowed and saluted.
"I also ask the prince to forgive me. I have to give up the banquet tonight. That day, I will respectfully invite the prince to come to my mansion to have a talk..."
Fu Jiuqu laughed softly.
"Master Lu, there is no need to panic. Since the Imperial City Division has taken action, there will be gains. You and I will sit quietly and have a drink for a while, and we will naturally find out."
He walked into Danfeng Pavilion calmly and calmly, and the officials stepped forward to salute with such politeness and thoughtfulness. Lu Yongfu was so angry that he had to step back and introduce several colleagues to Fu Jiuqu.
After a moment of greetings, the guests and hosts took their seats.
"Let's serve."
"Your Majesty, please see the food list."
"I don't know what the prince likes, so I'm laughing..."
Fu Jiuqu looked at the complimenting and smiling faces in front of him and said in a lukewarm tone: "Guests do as they please, adults, there is no need to be polite."
Lu Yongfu exchanged glances with his colleagues and slapped him in the face.
"Come on, let's serve the food and wine!"
Lushui Restaurant is a famous restaurant in Sizhou. The delicacies are delicious and rich. Needless to say, the singers and dancers are even more tender and beautiful. The locals joke in private that Lushui Restaurant has
If you pick any of the ladies out there, they will be better than those in the palace.
Just now, several adults quietly gathered together.
Although the Prince of Guangling County is a proud son of heaven and is accustomed to beauties, this is the beauty of Sizhou City, which is different from that of the capital city. How can a man not be greedy for beauty? Who would have too much?
What's more, Lu Yongfu saw it last night. Although the princess was beautiful, her face was cold and distant, as if she was in the clouds. How can a woman who looks too serious like this well-informed little beauty know how to please a man?
Lu Yongfu winked, and following Zhenyao on the stage, in addition to a beautiful girl, there were also three signature ladies from Lushui Tower. One played the piano, one sang, and the other danced. It was like a feast of beauty.
The three famous ladies also knew what was going on, and their flirtatious eyes frequently flew to Guangling County Prince.
Lu Yongfu kept looking at Fu Jiuqu's expression.
"What do you think of the food at Lu Shui Lou, the prince?"
Fu Jiuqu held the wine glass and played with it slowly and slowly with his slender fingers. He didn't even move his chopsticks. How could he know what the food was like?
Master Lu was clearly asking about something else.
Fu Jiuqu chuckled and answered calmly.
"When I went out, the princess of the county just sent me a cup of stewed chicken with wild mountain delicacies. It was delicious. I ate it half full without holding back. I don't have much appetite at the moment. I just want to chat with you adults."
"..."
So the prince doesn't like the flower lady of Lushui Tower.
Lu Yongfu smiled awkwardly and handed over his hands to apologize.
"The low-level official has little knowledge. He really doesn't know what the prince likes. He just laughs at him."
Fu Jiuqu knew that he understood, so he smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Unexpectedly, the three flower girls did not understand what the nobles meant. After the song ended, the three of them came down neatly, their waists were rippled, and the fragrance was lingering. They walked to Fu Jiuqu's side, smiling happily.
To bow, you have to step forward to serve.
"do what?"
As soon as those little hands, as white as bamboo shoots, held the wine bottle, Fu Jiuqu's face sank.
"When the adults are eating and drinking, do you have the right to touch them?"
Those three girls are talented and beautiful. They are often touted by a group of lustful men as being the most beautiful women in heaven and earth. They are extremely confident in their appearance. Obviously, they did not expect that some guests would reject them...
"I, I am not very talented, I would like to have a drink with a senior official..." Jiao Sheng's soft words were pitiful, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Fu Jiuqu's sneer.
"Come here, please remove this dirty pot of wine. Don't smear the king's eyes."
She has such a beautiful face, but every word she says hurts people.
The little lady blushed.
"My lord, please forgive me..."
